The old town of Lyon is famous for what its residents call "Traboules": secret shortcuts and passageways, hidden behind closed doors, and known only to locals. So I went to Lyon and opened a door...

Accessible traboules (info translated from lyon-france.com):
- 54 rue Saint-Jean (La Longue Traboule): Heavy door and narrow passageways but the first two courtyards are otherwise accessible. The rest of the traboule has a few steps, so you may need to turn round at the second courtyard.
- 27 rue Saint-Jean: heavy door again, but the first two courtyards are accessible. A large step makes it difficult to exit the other side.
- 22 rue Saint-Jean: the first courtyard is accessible.
- 10 rue Lainerie: again, there's a heavy door, but beyond that the courtyard is accessible and features a beautiful spiral staircase in one corner.
